I first covered an NBA game in 1992 between the Milwaukee Bucks and the New York Knicks, and things were different back in those days. Media members actually sat on press row (those seats are now sold to season ticket holders), and you were so close to the action that you could listen to the coaches and the referees, and peer into the opposing huddles. Nowadays, media members are seated in the rafters, and there is less and less original reporting. At Forbes.com, we are endeavoring to change that. There is a right way and a wrong way to cover basketball, and we are choosing the former.

As practically everyone in the NBA weighed in on the death of George Floyd and the accompanying violence and rioting, Phoenix Suns coach Monty Williams issued a heartfelt statement echoing the righteous outrage.
